1 Kings 22:26-28

Living Bible

²⁶ Then King Ahab ordered Micaiah’s arrest.

“Take him to Amon, the mayor of the city, and to my son Joash. ²⁷ Tell them, ‘The king says to put this fellow in jail and feed him with bread and water—and only enough to keep him alive^[a]—until I return in peace.’”

²⁸ “If you return in peace,” Micaiah replied, “it will prove that the Lord has not spoken through me.” Then he turned to the people standing nearby and said, “Take note of what I’ve said.”
